E-Stim Tissue Healing & Contraction Flashcards
What occurs in the inflammation phase
Hemostasis
Autolysis
Phagocytosis
Fibroblastic migration
What occurs in the proliferation phase
Collegen synthesis
angiogenesis
epitheliazation
wound contraction
What occurs in the maturation phase
Collagen lysis
Collagen replacement
Factors that affect wound healing
Systemic med- aspirin, corticosteroids, indomethacin Topical meds Malnutrition presure/stretch infection immunodeficiency smoking necrotic/dry tissue
Common Places for a Pressure sore
sacrum, ischial tuberosity, greater trochanter, heel, malleoli
Stages of Pressure sores
Stage 1- nonblanchable erythema of intact skin
Stage 2- partial thickness skin loss to epidermis/dermis/both
Stage 3- full skin thickness loss affects subcutaneous
Stage 4- full skin thickness loss affecting mm./bone
Common places/Etiology of Arterial Insuf ulcers
lateral foot, on foot, toe joints, mallelio
arteriosclerosis, arterial occlusion/disruption
Common places/Etiology of Venous Insuf ulcers
above the ankle, medial lower leg
venous hypertension, venous valvular dysfunction
Common places/Etiology of Diabetic Ulcers
plantar foot, lateral foot, met heads, heel
neuropathy, arterial insuf
Electrochemical effects pos vs neg electrode
Negative electrode=alkaline
Positive electrode=acid
Electrophysical effects
electrokinetic-movement of ions
ie depolariziong of membrane
Electrothermal effects
microvibration to charge particles creating heat
H=0.24I2xRxT
I2=RMS
R=skin impedance
T=time
Effects that would benefit from wound healing
glavanotaxis collagen synthesis prolif of fibroblast angiogenesis bacteriacidal epitheliazation increase blood to wound
Galvanotaxis Inf phase consists of
macrophages- neg
neutrophils inactivated- neg
phagocytosis
autolysis
Galvanotaxis Prolif phase consists of
fibroblast- pos
collegen formation
